They are indescribably good—as art, entertainment, philosophy, and emotional fuel. If you are interested in learning more about Objectivism, the Ayn Rand Institute has a good suggested reading (and listening) list for learning about Objectivism, prepared by Dr. Gary Hull. A great new book, for those both familiar and unfamiliar with Objectivism, is Loving Life: The Morality of Self-Interest and the Facts that Support It, by Craig Biddle. The book, using clear, simple language and many illuminating examples, explains how morality is a matter of objective fact—not personal whim or societal decree or religious dogma—and shows clearly and concretely the meaning of the morality of rational self-interest and how to use it to improve your life.
